TREATMENT

After seeing Dr. Boehme on Tuesday, Dave was again admitted to the hospital - this time for chemotherapy. It is an inpatient treatment with high dose chemo drugs which will take 3 days to administer. The plan is to continue treatment once every 3-4 wks with the hope to put him into remission or at least control the growth of the cancer and free him of pain. He is doing quite well as far as side-effects from the drugs, although the treatment has caused him with a lot of psychosis (confusion.) After the treatment, the confusion will clear. Dave has gone through this phase with each hospitalization, including his stem cell transplant in Seattle, so it isn't anything new. He doesn't remember any of this after treatment, so that is a blessing. His discharge date is July 4th, but he will stay in an extra day if his "head hasn't cleared" by that time. Please continue those prayers coming, he's a fighter!
